'lO ALL WHOM IT MAY-CONCERN:

i Be it known that I, PHILIP VERPLANCK,.Jr., of Binghnmton, in theta-te of New York, have mede certain Improvements in Dash-Boards of carriages ;A and I hereby declare the following to ben full and enact descrip- Lion-.ofxhe same, reference being her`cin had to the accompanying drawings, whiclrm'a-k'epart of'this Specification. i

The improvement consists in-so constructing the upper and sideirons-in `the frame of dash-board as to receive and render more practica-bly. useful Olmsteds reinholder,pa"tented in June, 1865, and of which the undersiguedfis now sole proprieter.

An indentation is made in the top iron of' :i lush-board, ns at'A in the annexed drawing, the depth being such as to allow of insertingAOlmsteds rein-holder. thntits top shall be so near the level of the iron as to be no obstruction to the passing of the reins buck und Aforth thereon, andso that the ends of th'e indented or banded iron, while allowinthe rein to be freely, at will, passed into the holder, will at the same time preventthe reins being switched out ofthe holder by the tail of the horse, or by anyvordino/-ry lateral Vaccidental snatch.'- '.lhc bottom oflthe recess A is flattened to receivethe holder. In the side irons B and C, provision is also made for a holder, z, which can bcadnpted to rcc'eive both lines. The holders are constructed right 'or left, to suit the indented side, and arel attached to the frame of the lash-board by the part that now attaches therri to the poi-'tf intended to he screwed to the carriage;

Olaz 'm. What I claim is my invention, and -desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- 1. The combination of the rein-holder e with the dash-boardirons A C, as shown.. 2. So forming-thc side and top irons of the dash-'boards of earriagess to receive, in an indentation in thoserons, the rein-holder, the top of which shall he butY little above the lineiof the iron, the ends ofthev indentations being so shaped' as to be a stop or guard lto the rein preventing it from being snatched or switched out of the holder. as hereinahovesot forth.
